CribbageSim

Source code: GitHub

CribbageSim is a Python implementation of the Cribbage card game. It allows interactive play with one human player against one computer player. It also includes a simulation mode where both players are played by the computer. Simulation mode can be used to analyze different player strategies and to generate game-play statistics. In simulation mode, as deployed, the players use a play strategy based on that described by Hoyle's Rules of Games, supplemented with experience of the developer.

Credit where credit is due

• The Strategy design pattern is used to implement both playing strategies and scoring card combinations, and follows the concepts, UML diagrams, and examples provided in "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software," by Eric Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides, published by Addison-Wesley, 1995.
• The HoyleishCribbagePlayStrategy class implements a player strategy that is similar to the one described in "Hoyle's Rules of Games," by A.H. Morehead and G. Mott-Smith, second revised edition, published by Signet, 1983. However, significant additions have been made based on the experience of the developer.

Requirements

• UserResponseCollector>=1.1.0: GitHub, PyPi
• HandsDecksCards>=1.0.0: GitHub, PyPi

Usage

To play the game interactively or to run various simulations:

python -m CribbageSim.main

A menu of options for play and simulation will be presented.

Unittests

Unit tests for CribbageSim have filenames starting with test_. To run the unit tests, type python -m unittest discover -s .\..\tests -v in a terminal window in the project directory.
